Roundabout Theatre Company’s acclaimed Tony Award winner ANYTHING GOES sails into the Ahmanson in the Fall of 2012.

Winner of three 2011 Tony Awards® including Best Revival of a Musical and Choreography, Roundabout Theatre Company’s ANYTHING GOES continues on Broadway with Sutton Foster and Joel Grey at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

Director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall won the 2011 Tony Award® for Best Choreography.

New Yorker Magazine says “I challenge you to find a natural high greater than the first-act finale of ANYTHING GOES, a giddy layer cake of tap-dancing sailors atop droll Cole Porter lyrics. Of course, ANYTHING GOES is from the golden age of musical comedy, a genre that is doggedly committed to manufacturing joy.”

Roundabout Theatre Company’s ANYTHING GOES features music and lyrics by Cole Porter; original book by P.G. Wodehouse & Guy Bolton and Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse; and new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman.

Cole Porter’s roundup of nostalgic hits in the production include “You’re the Top,” “Friendship,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “It’s De-Lovely,” “Blow, Gabriel, Blow” and, of course “Anything Goes.”

This 1934 musical comedy about the lovers, liars and clowns on a transatlantic cruise is “a daffy, shipshape romp!” - Variety. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail.

The New Broadway Cast Recording of Roundabout Theatre Company’s ANYTHING GOES, nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, is available on Ghostlight Records.
